Best Power Sheet Sanders of 2025

"I find the Black & Decker 2.0 Amp Electric Sander to be a fantastic tool for both DIY projects and detailed sanding. The 2.0 amp motor delivers plenty of power, easily smoothing rough surfaces. It's lightweight, reducing hand fatigue, and the dust collection feature keeps my workspace surprisingly clean. Overall, it's a reliable and efficient tool for all skill levels. Highly recommended!"

"I used this sander to sand my sinks before painting, and it worked fabulously! I'm really pleased with how well it performs."

"This sander is a great addition to my workshop. It fits nicely into smaller spaces, but I did have some issues with regular sandpaper slipping out. Thankfully, sticky pads work without slipping, though I'm not a fan. Overall, it's a great little tool for light tasks!"

"I find this sander to be much quieter than my old Craftsman model. It performs very well, and although loading the sandpaper can be a bit cumbersome, it stays in place until it tears or loses grit. The dust collector is a plus; I’m looking forward to trying the vacuum hose attachment."

"I paid $25 on Black Friday, and this sander does exactly what I need. Like with most hole-punch dust collector sanders, sanding can get a bit messy, but the motor has adequate power and I can lean on it without worries. It’s an unbeatable deal for the price!"

"I used the SKIL palm sander to tackle a peeling painted picnic table. It worked great on the top, and now the table is ready for painting before winter. Just a heads-up: I used up the 80 grit sheets that came with it, so I had to order more sandpaper to finish my project!"

"I bought this to replace my corded Dewalt sander, which disappeared somewhere. This is the best quarter sheet sander out there. The glue-on disc sanders are worthless because they lose adhesion as they heat up. This one is easy to reload and is less expensive in the long run."

"We trust DeWalt for all our tools. We purchased this bagged sander to prepare our kitchen cabinets for painting while living in the house. It did a great job with minimal dust, which was a relief for my allergies. The filter bag works well, and it easily fits into tight spaces, minimizing hand sanding."

"This DeWalt sander is very easy to use, well-balanced, and collects a lot of dust while sanding. Attaching sandpaper is straightforward. I find it runs a bit quieter than my corded sander, and using it without a cord is much more convenient."

"I needed a replacement for my old B & D orbital sander, and I found the Makita B03710 on Amazon. Despite my hesitations about overseas manufacturing, I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. This 1/3 sheet sander is incredibly smooth, relatively quiet, and easy to handle. I used it on hardwood guitar necks, and it did a fantastic job with both 60 grit and 150 grit sandpaper. I appreciate the dust collection pouch and the paper hole puncher that came with it. Overall, out of the box, it's a great tool and a good value."

"I have to say, this Makita sander is a game changer! The paper retention clips are excellent, and I love how quiet it is—no need for ear protection, although it's still wise for longer sessions. The dust port is a bit small, but I managed to adapt it for my other tools. There's no hook backing on the pad as I initially thought, but I found a solution on Amazon that works perfectly. Switching grits has never been easier, and I believe this is the best sander I've used so far!"

"As a professional, I can confidently say that the Makita Schwingschleifer BO3710 is a solid and effective product. It performs well on difficult surfaces, and even when using an external vacuum, it works great. The original dust bag is adequate for quick tasks. While there is no adjustable speed feature, I still find it meets my needs. Overall, it's a worthwhile investment for anyone looking for a reliable sander!"

"I had to get this sander because my collection of tools just wasn't complete. My husband calls it the missing piece for his so-called 'masterpiece'—our tool-filled garage. But I have to admit, it's a solid tool that’s lightweight and performs great for sanding."

"I bought this as a gift and I was pleased to find that Ryobi is high quality. The user was thrilled and mentioned that it works great."

"I use this sander for sanding my sailboat seats before revarnishing. It fits perfectly for the job, especially when I have the right size sandpaper."

"I found that this sander works great and saves time. It allowed me to sand a dresser in a quarter of the time it would have taken otherwise. I would definitely buy this product again, and the battery lasted longer than I needed. It's very lightweight, and my wife was able to use it too. Overall, it's a great value for the price and simple to use."

"I had a bit of trouble with the sandpaper they provided—it felt a bit too short. It would be better if it were slightly larger to fit properly. However, I must say, Ryobi never fails me with their quality."

"Using this sander for my fishing dock project was effective, but I did have to charge the battery multiple times. Thankfully, I have four batteries to rotate, which helped a lot."

"I bought this for my girlfriend, and she loves it for her projects!"

"I've used it a few times, and it hasn't failed me yet. Just a note: when the battery is low, it tends to choke under pressure."

"As a Craftsman fan, I wanted to stick with their battery-operated tools. This sander works very well and has a good dust collecting bag."

“I think this is a fantastic little sander! It really speeds up my home improvement projects and the sandpaper is super easy to apply. I would definitely recommend it!”

“After using this sander, I can say it's much better than my mouse sander. The sandpaper size is just right, and it provides even strokes without sanding deeper in any areas.”

“I'm really happy with this sander! It handles even coarse grit sandpaper excellently. I'm very satisfied with both the purchase and the price!”

"I really appreciate the variable speed; it runs smoothly. However, finding the right hook and loop pads is a challenge."

"For the price, this sander offers great power and performance. Though the dustbin is a bit clunky, I can manage it."

"This sander is quite large, and I found it to be more powerful than I expected. I just wish the color matched what was advertised."

"As a woodworker, I have various sanders, but this cordless sander from Greenworks has truly impressed me. The interchangeable 24V batteries with my other tools are a fantastic bonus! The design allows for perfect use of a 1/4 sheet of sandpaper, and the dust collection works well. I appreciate the convenient on/off switch placement and the solid construction."

"I decided to try this Greenworks cordless sander and was blown away by its quality. The quick charger lets me know the charging status, and the included vent hole punch is a clever touch. It effectively smoothed out an old table with varnish, making it my 'Keeper' sander despite the lack of a case."

"Having multiple Greenworks tools made it an easy choice to buy this cordless sheet sander. The convenience of not dealing with a cord is a major plus. While it comes with a single 2A battery, I don’t mind since I have plenty of others. The dust collection bag is essential, and I plan to use this for various home projects."
